Looks like we're going to have to scrounge up a beaver to put on the stick.

Re: Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

10/15-16 North Dakota
10/29-30 Minnesota Duluth
11/5-6 at St. Cloud State
11/12-13 Alaska-Anchorage
11/19-20 at Denver
11/26-27 Northern Michigan
12/3-4 Nebraska-Omaha
12/10-11 at Wisconsin
12/31-1/1 Mariucci Classic
1/7-8 at Ala.-Huntsville

2/4-5 at Minnesota State
2/11-12 at Michigan Tech
2/18-19 Colorado College

Just a tad different than this year's schedule.

Over/under on Read staying for his Sr year?

It was sad to see how the season ended, but it is going to be so much fun following them next year!

P.S. Does anyone know if there has been any talk about Naming Rights for the Arena, or is it simply going to be called the BREC?

Engelstad East, Mariucci North or DECC West would all work.

Just a tad different than this year's schedule.

Just looking at this past season, and to just look at it from a budgetary standpoint, BSU had 5 bus trips (NMU, UMinn, UND for the holiday tourney, WMU and UNO - plus a single day bus trip to UMD) and 4 flights (UAH, Niagara, RMU and a season ending week-long trip back to UAH and then up to Niagara for the CHA Tourney - and not only that, but '08-'09 had 6 flights and only three bus trips).

Compare that to next year, and 7 bus trips (SCSU, Wisco, Mariucci Classic - if that pans out, UNO, MSUM, MTU, and UND) and only 2 flights (Denver and UAH) for '10-'11.

Quite a bit different. And, maybe we won't have to read articles like this next year either...

Re: Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

My gut says Read stays. If he does leave, I think it will be in the summer after NHL teams have their rookie and tryout camps. I don't think this season, at least the last month and a half, were what he was looking for, and for a chance to play in the WCHA week in and week out may be enough to keep him around.

But if he leaves, it wouldn't surprise me either. How's that for fence setting?

Haha, that's pretty good

Do you want me to get out my violin?

I want to thank the Bemidji State program again for scheduling a trip to Huntsville next season. I've heard tell that they broke another commitment to do so. Now, to break this **** winless streak ...

GFM <-- will be rooting for the Beavs in the WCHA.

MacQueen (Jr.) - McKelvie (Graduated) - Lehrke (Graduated)

Kinne (Jr.) - Walters (Jr.) - Cramer (Sr.)

Orban (So.) - Billberg (Sr.) - Findlay (Jr.)

Plus - McLeod (So.), Hartmann (So.), Drew Fisher (Jr. TR from Minnesota), Radislov Illo (Fr.), Jeff Jubenville (Fr.), Garrett Ladd (Fr.) and Brad Robbins (Fr.)

Defense:

I think our blue line is a little thin and small. One injury away from being very thin. I think we're good at forwards and the goalie situation will be VERY interesting.

Re: Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

Carlson has three years of eligibility remaining. Change that Sr. to So.

Try the athletic website...I think that's where we got one when they came to The Ralph a few years ago. Ralph security was disappointed we didn't shave it.

Welcome to the league. You're in for a real treat with the board discussion.

Oops! One typo out of that isn't too bad...

As to depth on the blue-line, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone (or two) moved back.

Re: Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

It will be very interesting to see what happens with the goaltending.

Bakala coming off a good year, and SCSU-transfer Jase Weslosky maybe stepping up?

Weslosky has great experience in the WCHA, but who knows who Seratorre calls to the position!

beware of jase, he is a slacker who would rather smoke the ganja and play halo then go to class
